Device42 vs Domotz

Device42 provides agentless discovery, asset management, and dependency mapping for data center, cloud, and hybrid IT environments. Its scope includes CMDB, DCIM, ITAM, IPAM, password management, and application dependency mapping, in a self-hosted deployment. It can discover network devices through SNMP and cloud resources across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and OpenStack.

For data centers, its visual models cover buildings, rooms, racks, cabling, and patch panels, with power and temperature heat maps. Core includes discovery, inventory and asset management, integrations, REST APIs and webhooks, warranty and SSL certificate management, cable and password management, and IPAM. Device42 also tracks software licenses, contracts, and barcodes, and lists more than 30 integrations. Licenses count devices with IP addresses; non-IP assets do not count, and user seats are unlimited. If the device limit is exceeded, the software keeps running but stops collecting additional information until the license is increased. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered.

Domotz is a cloud-based platform for discovering, monitoring and remotely managing network-connected devices across multiple sites. It creates device inventories and topology maps, then tracks health, performance, uptime, SNMP values and TCP services, with alert thresholds. Remote management tools include device access, power control, configuration backup and restore, and scripts. Network diagnostics include speed tests, traceroutes and on-demand VPN access. Domotz lists more than 100 vendor integrations and thousands of device models. Its collector has 16 deployment options, including a Domotz Box, virtual machines, Windows, Linux, NAS, Docker and Raspberry Pi. Security features include SSO/SAML, two-factor authentication, role-based team management, secure network sharing and audit logging. Domotz says it is audited to SOC 2 Type II and certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and uses encryption for data in transit and at rest. Free device discovery is available; paid options include $1.50 per managed device per month, billed in bundles of 10, and a Collector Plan at $35.00 per month.
